Introduction to Philosophy allows students to sharpen critical analytic skills while experiencing the world of thought involved in philosophy. The book exposes readers to the ideas that have shaped the world since the time of Socrates. It challenges students' assumptions about questions of life, death, and community.
Introduction to Philosophy engages students in philosophical topics that can support their academic work and enable them to participate in society's ongoing conversation about the basic principles that underlie western civilization.

Written to be accessible and relatable for students, the book is also structured to allow professors to select the topics most applicable to their particular courses.
